Raili Clasen

@raili_ca_design

RailiCA design stems from former fashion executive Raili Clasen’s love for eclectic California interior design. Following a lengthy, surf industry-focused career with Quiksilver, then Paul Frank, Clasen co-founded hip housewares brand, Alice Supply Co. The move into the interior design business came naturally after several of her home projects were featured in magazines, design blogs and her own homes showcased on the popular Newport Harbor Home tour.

Honored by Modern Luxury magazine as 2018 “Best Interior Designer”, Clasen has worked on both residential and commercial projects throughout California. Her signature style is evident in the smallest of details in the homes she designs.

Her aesthetic is incredibly fresh; the polar opposite of stale. She injects California cool surf vibes into every home she designs, straying away from anything redundant or overdone. Her taste is a full detour from typical coastal decor, which can often come across as kitchy, forced and entirely too “beachy.” She effortlessly styles homes in some of the most sophisticated zip codes, with that sought-after, “cool surfer girl” feel. Her style is truly unique, incorporating contrast-focused black and white statement pieces with clean lines, gorgeous woods, and personalized elements like engraved furniture or custom vintage oil paintings with an overlay of graffiti artwork.

Her projects have been featured in House Beautiful, Domino, Arch Digest, C Home, Sunset magazine, Luxe, Coastal Living, HGTV magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, Cottage Style, Country Living, Modern Luxury and the LA Times Home and Garden section. Six of her projects have been showcased on both the Newport Harbor and Corona Del Mar Home Tours.
